I am the proud author of five books: "Atomic Dreams and the Nuclear Nightmare: the Making of Godzilla (1954)," "Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men: the Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda," "Devil Bat Diary," "Terror In Tinseltown," and "A Rainbow's Bold Amen."

I am seen here with a small portion of my collection of memorabilia from the first Godzilla, including original movie posters from Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" (photo by David Brand).
